If State is as dedicated to baseball NIL as they are their baseball program, this should be a non-issue with the transfer portal.
I would hope so. Sadly, playing in a great park/environment isn’t incentive enough to get good players to come and stay. That’s the part about NIL I don’t like, it has diluted the grandeur of playing the game with the perversion of incentivizing through money.
Side note:
When I read Grisham’s description of the Lounge, I feel that every year we are moving farther away from the game and more into the business side of things.
I know winning is winning but how many more years do we have of players staying and playing more than a year? I mean you would think Lemonis would be an instant legend of a coach for the NC but people would rather have the long tenure of success. (I think with him we also knew those players on that team were special and had a lot to do with it)
People will remember players like the Mayor, Renfroe, and Macnamee and love them for their work, dedication, and success even if they fell short of winning it all. Are we heading to where we never have those legacy players due to the amount of transfers? Is this making the sport “better?”
Just something to think about. Hail State and here’s to a better 2024 baseball season.
